Transformation Thursday....Kind of!

I cannot think of a better "Transformation Thursday" post other than my classroom!!!  I went up to my school yesterday to "work" in my classroom.  6 hours later and 4 room arrangements later, I left. It's always so exciting but oh so overwhelming every summer to return to a room that is in complete disarray! Our floors were waxed right after school let out so you spend the first half of your "word" time assessing the damage, locating lost items, and trying to remember where things went only a month ago!!! With all of that said...here are a few pics of what I returned to:
My back counter
 More stuff...
 As far as I could get into my closet...
 The front of the room...
WOW! I have some working days ahead of me! I also decided that with a new year, I wanted a "fresh start." So, I am working on rearranging my classroom...We'll see how that all turns out!!!!  After pictures to come....

Transformation Thursday...Classroom before and after!!!

In honor of "Transformation Thursday," I thought I would take a look at how far I have come with my classroom!!!  I have not worked in my classroom for next year yet, but I am sticking with the same theme.  Just a little background...This will be my 8th year teaching and my 3rd at this school!

I was SOOOO excited to start at a new school! However, when I walked in my classroom, I wanted to CRY!!!  There was NOTHING!! I quickly snapped out of it when I realized the potential!!! It is a very large classroom- great for all of my center work!!!!  There was a brand new Smart Board and 3 HUGE bulletin boards! (I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could!)

Here are some crazy pictures I took when I first walked into my new classroom:





After 3 years of hard work, I think I FINALLY have it like I like it (for now at least!!!)
What it looks like now:



 
Much better, right?!!!! I can't wait to get in there and get everything ready next year!!!!  I love this time of year!!!!!!
Enjoy!
